Bulletin 1 contains all vital information for registration, accomodation and dates
The City of Dresden, the German Chess Association and FIDE have officially invited all member federations to participate in the Chess Olympiad Dresden from 12 to 25 November 2008. Worldwide, all national federations were given the invitation in form of the ‘Bulletin 1’ 6 months prior to the event.
Even before the official opening of the online registration as many as 82 nations had pre-registered for the world’s largest chess event. Now, the registration process was launched and the federations can plan their participation in detail, including travel, accommodation and team registration.
The bulletin, among other things, contains a detailed time schedule, registration guidelines, maps and accommodation information. Furthermore, general information on entering Germany, visa and contact details may also be found. A list of so far registered nations is online here.
